Inviscid Burgers as a degenerate elliptic problem

Submitted by Amit Acharya on

Uditnarayan Kouskiya                    Amit Acharya

We demonstrate the feasibility of a scheme to obtain approximate weak solutions to (inviscid) Burgers equation in conservation and Hamilton-Jacobi form, treated as degenerate elliptic problems. We show different variants recover non-unique weak solutions as appropriate, and also specific constructive approaches to recover the corresponding entropy solutions.

Constitutive theory for highly entangled hydrogels by considering the molecular friction

Submitted by bin.chen on

By considering the frictional sliding of randomly distributed entanglements within the polymer network upon mechanical stretches, we develop a constitutive theory to describe the large stretch behaviors of highly entangled hydrogels.

Atomistic simulation assisted error-inclusive Bayesian machine learning for probabilistically unraveling the mechanical properties of solidified metals

Submitted by mohsenzaeem on

Solidification phenomenon has been an integral part of the manufacturing processes of metals, where the quantification ofstochastic variations and manufacturing uncertainties is critically important. Accurate molecular dynamics (MD) simulations ofmetal solidification and the resulting properties require excessive computational expenses for probabilistic stochastic analyseswhere thousands of random realizations are necessary.

A brief review of modeling of composite structures

Submitted by Wenbin Yu on

This paper provides a brief review on modeling of composite structures. Composite structures in this paper refer to any structure featuring anisotropy and heterogeneity, including but not limited to their traditional meaning of composite laminates made of unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites. Common methods used in modeling of composite structures, including the axiomatic method, the formal asymptotic method, and the variational asymptotic method, are illustrated in deriving the classical lamination theory for the composite laminated plates to see their commonalities and differences.
